New in GUITAR RIG 3:

Four New Amp Models

GUITAR RIG 3 contains four new select amp models, further expanding the enormous sound palette. Special attention has been focused on developing still more authentic and dynamic tube sounds. We are proud to present even more impressive amplifiers with unequaled sound quality. For each amplifier as well as the Cabinets & Mic modules, a matching guitar box has been created.

Matched Cabinets

For each of the twelve tube amps GUITAR RIG 3 has styled a perfectly tuned and enormously simplified cabinet, which reproduces the sound of the original box. Here you can choose between two different microphone types, and select the different characteristics of each. This makes it easy to arrive at your desired sound in seconds, without needing the extensive knowledge of a sound engineer.

Six New Effect Modules

In GUITAR RIG 3 the effects palette has been further extended to a total of 44 legendary effects.

Accelerated Workflow

All functions such as the headline and the toolbar have been optimized- a simpler layout and clearer arrangement leads to a substantially improved work flow.

Simplified Controller Assignment

The controller assignment has been completely revised and enables a faster handling and greater flexibility:

New Sounds and Optimized Preset Management

GUITAR RIG 3 comes with a completely re-arranged sound library. The enormous sound pallete with 300 presets and/or preset setups brings you a gigantic selection of typical guitar sounds - for each amplifier model common and co-ordinated setups are provided for fast selection (e.g.- from clean to crunch or hi-gain) - or search for your sounds using typical music styles from classic rock to pop to metal.

Each sound has been pre-mapped to the controller meaning each preset is instantly recallable. Ideal for the studio or rehearsal room, this also serves as a perfect starting point for creating your own presets.

For a more effective and more intuitive sound management new categories have been introduced, as well as the addition of optimized Browser functionality.

Live View

GUITAR RIG 3 has developed the “live-view" specifically for live situations. This view contains only the most important information and parameters optimized to make GUITAR RIG 3 the unbeatable tool for the stage - even from several meters distance everything is still in clear view.

Rig Kontrol 3

As a further highlight, GUITAR RIG 3 Kontrol Edition contains the new Rig Kontrol 3, an extended and improved version of the previous version of the popular foot controller. This comes with two additional switches and level meters for input and output.

The sound quality of the built-in 24bit/192kHz audio interface has again been improved and contains now the same converters as the high-end AUDIO KONTROL 1. Along with the revised markings, the aluminum casing now comes in stylish black. Thus GUITAR RIG 3 is the number one guitar solution with intelligent "Hands Free" software control and thus the ultimate tool for studio and stage.
